Development of an IT intensive Manufacturing Engineering Curriculum

建议没有。项目负责人：Cecil， joe机构名称：新墨西哥州立大学随着电子商务的惊人增长和虚拟企业（VE）模式在制造业中的持续采用，美国工业界对拥有在这种新的信息技术（IT）密集型制造业工作环境中取得成功的技能的工程专业学生的可用性非常感兴趣。在这种情况下，我们的教育机构有必要开发创新的课程，这将使我们的学生。立即投入工作。当他们毕业后开始在各自的组织工作时。我们的制造业需要一种新型的工程师，他们不仅要拥有强大的制造（和制造系统）背景，而且要熟练使用新兴技术，如虚拟现实，互联网和其他工具，在虚拟制造企业的背景下完成广泛的活动。该项目将为设计和开发新的制造工程课程制定全面的计划，以解决不断变化的制造业环境。这种以信息技术为基础的制造业课程将为毕业生和雇佣他们的工业组织提供劳动力，这些劳动力拥有在当今不断发展的全球经济中取得成功所必需的技能和知识。建议的其他活动包括结合虚拟现实技术，以加强学生的学习，为弱势群体，包括有身体障碍的学生。项目团队包括新墨西哥州立大学和其他学术和行业合作伙伴。

PROPOSAL NO.: 0230709PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Cecil, JoeINSTITUTION NAME: New Mexico State UniversityTITLE: Development of an IT intensive Manufacturing Engineering CurriculumABSTRACT With the phenomenal explosion of e-businesses and the continuing adoption of the Virtual Enterprise (VE) model in manufacturing, there is a substantial interest in American industry in the availability of engineering students who possesses skills to succeed in this new Information Technology (IT) intensive manufacturing work environment. In this context, there is a need for our educational institutions to develop innovative curriculum, which will enable our students to .hit the ground running. when they begin working in their respective organizations upon graduation. Our manufacturing industry needs a new type of engineer, who must not only possess a strong background in manufacturing (and manufacturing systems) but also be skilled at using emerging technologies such as Virtual Reality, the Internet and other tools to accomplish a wide range of activities in the context of virtual manufacturing enterprises. This project will develop comprehensive plans for the design and development of a new manufacturing engineering curriculum, which addresses the changing manufacturing landscape. Such an information technology based manufacturing curriculum will benefit graduating students and industrial organizations (who hire them) by providing a workforce, which possesses skills and knowledge that are necessary to succeed in today's evolving global economy. Other activities proposed include the incorporation of virtual reality technology to enhance student learning for under-represented minorities including students with physical challenges. The project team includes New Mexico State university and other academic and industry partners.
